Ashley & Branson were at it again with Tutorial Tuesday. This week was Foodtography. I have always admired foodtography, but I have never been good at it. I took some of the tutorials & tips they shared to take these photos today. They came out okay but I still am not happy with them. Do you have any suggestions?  Which one is your favorite?

Oh and if you want to see some awesome foodtography you should check out Natalies blog. She shares recipes and awesome photos.

    This post has totally inspired me to start taking better food pictures. Going to get on making a light box too! I want to start taking pics of the recipes I have on my blog. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Hello! I realize this is sort of off-topic however I had to ask. Does managing a well-established blog such as yours require a large amount of work? I am brand new to running a blog but I do write in my diary on a daily basis. I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my personal experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!

    My favorite is the first apple, I really like the perspective. I don't have any tips though, food is something I struggle taking photos of. I like the one of the toast too, makes me hungry! : )

    That orange is actually looking better than anything else right now (strange for me because I love M & Ms). Nice Foodtography :)

    Oh yummy that toast with jam is making me hungry. I really should practice food photography at home.......but the light is so dreadful in my kitchen especially at this time of year.

    i think you did a fantastic job on the photos. my favorite is definitely the oranges. they just look so juicy! i also love that you can see their reflection a bit.

    Fun! I like the perspective of the first apple shot as well as the last jam on toast shot. (The knife draws your eye into the center of the shot and up, and then the jar brings your eye back around to the knife again, so it keeps your eyes looking at the shot.)

    I think you did great! I'm still learning the whole foodtography thing. I did learn a nifty trick where you make a light board using foil and a cereal box to help with lighting. I think I pinned it in Pinterest. Yep, I did pin it. http://pinterest.com/pin/116178865356887419/

    Lovely!!!! You know my sweet tooth is telling me that the M&M's are the favorite to pick. However- I love your orange. If I wasn't allergic I soooooo would have had one cut open when I did my pics of the ones we had in the house. Makes me want some even though I shouldn't :)

    ooooooh! fun photos! i have always admired foodtography as well, though it seems tricky to master. i think the orange is my favorite, and i think it is because of the color of the wood that it is sitting on. makes the photo look really cohesive. ;) great work!

    These photos are wonderful! I swear photographing food is SO much harder than you'd ever think..or at least than I thought :) Thanks for hosting confessionsofamagnoliamom.blogspot.com

    My problem with food photos is the creepy lighting in my house. I basically have to cook in the morning, and put the plate on the floor by my back door to get a halfway decent shot. I never cook in the morning. I think yours came out nice. I like the orange one the most!

  46. Amanda says

    I think they turned out really great! The orange is my favorite.....there is SO much detail in that photo! Actually, all of your pictures just made me really hungry ;)

  51. Kimberly says

    I like the orange! I struggle with photographing food also. Especially in my kitchen where the lighting has always been terrible. Hopefully once the new kitchen is in, it will be better for photographing food.

  52. Honey Mommy says

    I like the second picture the best. I love the way you framed the apple. The orange looks yummy too! I am not very good at taking pictures of food either. I don't know why, but it is not my cup of tea!

  54. Serendipity is Sweet says

    I like that first one of the apple best. I think the light was a little better in your apple shots. But, I also like the coziness of the toast - it looks charming and conjures up images of a cottage breakfast ;) I think these are pretty darn good. Food photography isn't easy and I am never very pleased with my attempts.

  57. Kim C. says

    I like the orange best, but they are all good to me. I am not a foodtographer either, with me I think it is a problem of angles. I just haven't figured it out.

  68. alicia says

    It's definitely a gift. One that I don't seem to posess. lol. I'm really diggin the toast pic with the jam on the knife. I think the more realistic the better perhaps? I say that yet I know great food art takes tons of staging. :)

  70. Michelle Kennedy says

    Well I think they look great :) My favourite is the orange, it's making me really thirsty looking at how juicy it is. I'm also wishing I'd thought to buy oranges when I was at the shops 5 minutes ago, lol
